Winds blew as a lone figure looked out to sea. Power thrummed along her very being as the waves seemed to crash against her body. It felt as if an eternity had passed since she'd seen what she loved the most, and now she stood in the ocean, preparing herself for her new journey. The king had built a ship for her use, and with her Uncle's (the governor one) permission, she'd be taking Kohaku and Souta with her out to sea. Her father was no longer alive, so she was in charge of her brother.

It had been five years since she'd been with the man she loved, and she hoped to find him as she traveled the seas. Of course, it wouldn't just be the two boys accompanying her. Yukina would come, as would Botan, Inuyasha demanded he be allowed, which meant Kikyo was coming, Sango decided she'd be joining them, so Miroku would also follow. Of course Uncle Yoshirou wasn't too happy about those two going, so Sango relented and agreed to remain in port for the time being. And lucky for Kagome, Inuyasha was summoned back to Edo, so he wouldn't be joining them. Kaguya and Shiori would though.

Shiori ended up being Kagome's adoptive daughter, as she refused to leave the island when it was time to go, and Kaguya wished to spend the summer with them. Another surprise was that Izayoi was allowing Akihiro to travel with her. He ended up being born shortly after Kagome gave birth. The child was exceedingly sweet, and quite bright as well.

Those thoughts brought her mind back to when she had given birth. It was funny, thinking back to it. Kagome was so worried about how her children would be when they were born. Yes, children. For she had given birth to quadruplets.... She was wondering why she had started getting really fat! Her first born was a little girl, whom she named Kage. The girl had crimson red eyes and black hair, but her bangs were pure white, then came Ryuujin, he had her blue eyes with spiked white tipped black hair. Kenji was born after that, his eyes were a mixture of both parents’, a beautiful deep violet and he had messy black hair. Her little firefly was born last. He had ruby red eyes, spiked black hair, and it was tipped in red... blood red. So she named him Hotaro.

Yukina herself had a child... though it was from the koorime way. When she found out, she had been thrilled, excited, and extremely scared. Kagome calmed her down after a few, and she had a little girl a few months later. The little girl had pretty turquoise hair and crimson eyes. She looked almost identical to her mother. When Kazuma found out she was pregnant, he had freaked out. He had done so even more as soon as he found out she could reproduce on her own. All in all, it was a rather funny sight. What was even funnier was that Prince Koenma was falling for a youkai. One of the very beings his father hated. Of course, Botan also had a fetish with demons... mainly silver haired and golden eyed ones.... especially Inu's ears. I still can't believe that Koenma is courting Yukina. Kagome thought with a laugh.

Another funny thing, was that the ship they were leaving on would be carrying seven children. Shiori was now thirteen, so she counted as an adult in Kagome's book. Four of the children are the same age, four, and one is seven. The last is two. Akihiro is four. He's really cute with his silver hair, tail, and dog ears. They're all tipped in black, and he has violet eyes.

Deciding that she needed to get ready to board the ship and stop her thoughts, she returned to her home. A black haired young man with violet eyes awaited her there, and beside him was another black haired boy, only this one had brown eyes. The violet eyed one was her brother, Souta. The other was her cousin Kohaku. Nodding to the two boys, she went inside to change. Most of what she needed was already packed. All she needed to do was 'dress' up for her leaving, as everyone would be there.

A black cat-suit was pulled on, followed by blue armor, and then her miko robes. Next, she strapped her swords to her side, a quiver was strapped to her back with adamant arrows tipped in black steel. Her bow stuck out from the quiver on the off chance that she'd need it, and a chain scythe was added to her sash. Once she was done, she tied her hair back and commanded servants to carry her things to the ship. Tying her poison mask to her sash, she grabbed a giant bone boomerang like Sango uses, and rushed outside. Upon reaching her brother, she stopped and strapped the heavy weapon to her back.

The trio slowly made their way to the docks. Souta dressed in a traditional black cat-suit with his poison mask on and twin katanas strapped across his back and another set at his hips. His armor was yellow. Kohaku wore the same, except he had green armor and wielded a chain scythe. When the group made it to the ship, they were greeted by Keiko and Yusuke. The man stepped up to them. "We wanna go with you. Her father okayed it as long as you give a yes."

Kagome smiled at them and bowed her head slightly. "I'd be honored to have you join us."

At that, Yusuke gave a cocky smirk. "Good, cause our stuff's already on board." The woman giggled at that.

It didn't take long for them all to board the ship. Looking around, Kagome realized that the crew was mostly comprised of wolf demons. Noting that, she called upon the two whom she knew. "Ginta, Hakkaku."

They were in front of her immediately. "Yes my lady?"

"Set sail."

"Yes my lady!" The nodded as they took off giving the orders.

Yusuke looked at them. "Please tell me they aren't the ones in charge of the ship."

The young woman smiled at him. "They were.... Please take the helm, Captain Yusuke."

Keiko giggled at her husband's stunned expression that slowly turned into a cocky smirk. He bowed mockingly to her as he headed for the steps that lead up to the wheel. "As you wish, my lady."

Elsewhere, a lone ship was out at sea, though they were nearing the new pirate port. Black Moon Isle was practically deserted now, so the crew was able to do as they pleased when they visited it. There were very few who still remembered where it was. After half an hour, the ship at sea reached the dock and the captain turned to three of his crew members. "I expect you three to be quick."

The female and two males nodded as they left to follow their captain's orders. The first mate walked up to him shortly after that. "Youko, you look stressed."

"You'd look stressed too if you had to deal with being captain... and it's Hiei. I'm worried about him."

"You shouldn't be." Both demons turned to the new voice that they vaguely recognized. It sounded dark and dangerous. "I can take care of myself." The demon who spoke dropped down to stand in front of them and they gasped. For before them stood Hiei, but he was not the same. Malevolent energy seemed to radiate from him. It seemed so dark, and positively evil.

"What happened to you?" Youko asked as he stared at his long time friend.

"I've been looking for my sister, and I've yet to find anything about her."

"Oh. Have you seen Kagome at all in the time you've been gone."

"No." He replied curtly. "I suppose you kept in contact with her?"

"We tried to." Kuronue said. "But when everyone left the island for this one, we stopped getting to see Yusuke as often. Then he stopped coming altogether. That Kuwabara said he was undergoing training."

"The last we heard about Kagome, was that she was getting slightly depressed and was starting to wish that humans could be purified like demons could be." Youko said as he laughed. Hiei raised a brow in questioning at him, so he elaborated. "Some human was trying to get her to marry him. Yusuke was smirking when he told me about it, because he apparently didn't like the guy."

"That had him smirking because...?" Hiei questioned.

"Kagome got tired of him chasing after her, so she asked Yusuke to scare him away. Apparently that had worked until he had to leave for a little while. When he returned, Inuyasha had also shown up. So they both 'spoke' with the man. He left her alone after that."

"From what we've heard, her body's grown more and she looks amazing." Kuronue stated.

"So you haven't seen her since she left?" They shook their heads no and he sighed.

"Does this mean you're back?" Youko asked curiously.

He nodded. "At least for now."

It was about two hours later that the three crewman returned to the ship with their needed supplies. Genkai went up to the captain and was surprised to find Hiei there, she was even more surprised at how his aura felt. Turning her eyes back to Youko, she stated "we gathered all needed supplies."

"Any rumors that might come in handy?" the kitsune asked.

"Just that the Shikon Miko is traveling around the seas; I highly doubt we want to run into her."

Rolling his eyes, the captain stared boredly at his claws. "She can't be that bad."

The pink haired woman smacked him for that comment. "This girl is said to be more powerful than priestess Midoriko, and she travels with youkai tajiya. It is also said that her crew are all demons."

"Ok, fine. We probably don't want to mess with her, anything interesting pop up?"

"Just that that foolish lord who thinks himself a king is selling demons to a lot of the surrounding islands."

"What?" Kuronue asked in shock.

"He's apparently been doing it for years. I also overheard that the Shikon Miko bought one of the demon slaves, an ice maiden actually."

Hiei tensed at those words and a glare was sent to Youko who gulped at the murder he could clearly see swimming within them. Turning his golden gaze back to the pink haired woman, he sighed. "Do you know the name of the miko's ship."

"Hama no ya. It's funny really, that she decided to name it Sacred Arrow."

"Where are we mommy?"

Looking to her side, she smiled at one of her little boys. "We're heading to Kuroi Tsuki, Kenji."

"Is that where daddy is?"

"I hope so."

"What if he isn't?"

"Then we'll continue looking."

"Do you think he'll like me?" The young boy asked as he looked up at his mother.

The woman smiled as she nodded. "What's not to like?"

"What's daddy look like?"

Closing her eyes, the miko smiled at her son's limitless questions. "He has spiky hair like Ryuujin and Hotaro, but his has blue tips and a white star-burst. His eyes are a beautiful crimson as well."

"How tall is he?"

"Last time I saw him, he was a few inches taller than Yukina and myself are."

"That's not very tall."

"Neither am I."

"Will I be taller than you when I'm bigger?"

At that question, Kagome began giggling. "More than likely." Looking around, she spotted Yukina nearby. "Go play while I talk to Yukina, ok?"

"Hai mommy."

Watching as the little boy raced below deck, she sighed and walked over to her friend. "Can you wait to meet your brother?"

"Nope! I hope he's there when we get there."

"You and me both." A male's voice said from behind them.

Kagome pouted at that. "Awe, you wanna give up your position as captain that badly?"

"Yeah. If I don't have to yell orders at people, I can be below with Keiko... making her scream." Both girls turned slightly red and started giggling. The miko slapped his shoulder for that remark and turned to look back out at the sea. Sighing, Yusuke leaned between the two. "We'll be there in about three hours. It's mostly deserted, though I know Youko's crew still use it for storing their treasure."

They had already been to the island, and found it deserted. Though there were signs that someone still visited it occasionally. It had been three days since they had left that island in fact, and they heard the sound of cannon fire. Kagome had been in her room with Yukina when it had been heard, and they both raced on deck when the sound rang through the air. Looking behind them, she spotted a familiar ship and glared at it. The thing was a pirate ship called Miasma. It was in fact, Naraku's ship.

Another shot rang out, and Kagome lifted a shield to block it from hitting their ship. "There's another ship comin from the west my lady!" She heard Ginta yell.

Turning slightly, she saw another familiar ship. It was Phantom Shadow. Her mind was racing as the ship behind them steadily came closer. "Hakkaku, can you signal Phantom Shadow to turn around the other way?" Shrugging, he tried it.

On said ship, the crew were looking on. "That ship looks familiar." Touya said as he looked at the black ship that had a faint purple mist surrounding it.

"The lead ship is signalin' for us to 'urn around sir."  Jin hollered from the crow's nest.

Youko looked at the other ship and recognized who was at the helm. He turned quickly to Kuronue, who was at the wheel. Hiei was right beside them. "Do it. Yusuke's on that ship, I think we should listen." The bat demon nodded as he quickly turned the wheel and had the ship turning around.

Those on Kagome's ship were cheering at having gotten them to do so. Turning slightly, Kagome nodded to Yusuke. "Turn to follow them." Doing as he was told, he quickly turned the wheel. Using her powers, Kagome sent a tidal wave of water at Miasma and nodded. "If they manage to catch back up quickly, call for me. I'm changing into my armor."

Souta and Kohaku nodded as they too headed downstairs to become battle ready. Yukina also followed, and she changed into a fighting kimono that had a sword strapped to the side. Botan popped in at that moment. "Why are we following a ship?"

Kagome smiled at the girl. "The ship we're following is Phantom Shadow, so you need to get ready."

Botan tensed and nodded as she ran over to a drawer and pulled out her own pink fighting kimono. Yukina was looking at it sadly. "How do you manage to get everything in pink?"

"Dunno, daddy gets it for me."

"Right. I'm glad I like blue."

"Then why're you in black?" Kagome just had to ask.

She blushed. "You said it was my brother's favorite color." Both Kagome and Botan began giggling at that, and all the children ran in.

Shiori did as well. "Are we going to talk to that other ship?"

"Hai." The miko said with a nod. Once she heard that, she ran from the room and into her shared one with Kaguya and Kage to change into her own fighting kimono. Hers was lavender, and she put her chain scythe in the sash at her waist.
